Down on your bike in the Bronx?
Sideswiped on the BQE, FDR, or Cross-Bronx. Hit by a left-turner at a signalized intersection. Run off the road by a careless driver. NY no-fault doesn't cover motorcyclists — that means you sue from day one for the full damages. Cases filed at Bronx County Supreme Court at 851 Grand Concourse.

What to know about motorcycle accident cases in the Bronx
Common crash patterns in Bronx
Left-turning vehicles failing to see motorcyclists are the most common cause of injury crashes. the South Bronx, Co-op City, Fordham, and Riverdale all see this pattern at signalized intersections.
No no-fault for motorcyclists
NY no-fault law excludes motorcyclists from insurance coverage. The downside: no quick medical coverage. The upside: no serious-injury threshold — you sue for everything from day one.
Anti-rider bias on adjusters and juries
Insurers and juries carry implicit bias against motorcyclists. We document everything thoroughly and select juries carefully on voir dire.
Helmet evidence is not admissible
Under People v. Coe and related NY authority, helmet non-use is generally not admissible to reduce damages. We block that defense early.
Venue and filing
Most Bronx motorcycle claims are filed at Bronx County Supreme Court at 851 Grand Concourse. Trial-ready motion practice from day one because settlement offers are usually low until trial is set.
